Whistleblowing

Whistleblowing is reporting something wrong, unsafe or dishonest in the workplace or elsewhere that could put people at risk.

If you have a safeguarding concern, report it straight away to Gloucestershire County Council and/or the police if needed. The whistleblowing process can continue separately or alongside this.

Gloucestershire County Council is committed to protecting adults and supporting staff to raise concerns. Speaking up helps keep people safe by making sure problems are spotted early and dealt with quickly.

Who to contact

If you need to raise a concern about wrongdoing, malpractice or risk, you can do this confidentially:

  • Call: 01452 427052
  • Online: Whistleblowing allegation form
  • Post: Director of Policy, Performance & Governance, Gloucestershire County Council, Shire Hall, Gloucester, GL1 2TZ

The council has a whistleblowing policy which enables employees, partners and suppliers to express any concerns they have about illegal or illegitimate practices involving the council.
